What we grow at Aslan Organics:

salad mix & lettuce heads

After more than 8 years of entrepreneurial experience in the vegetable growing industry, Aslan Organics continues perfecting our ability to grow all things salad! Fresh greens that last are the hardest thing to find in a grocery store, where consumers pay a premium for subpar products. Densely packed with nutrients and vitamins, our lettuce mixes/heads/green blends are the primary focus of our growing. You can literally taste when trying our greens.

Using the growing methods generously shared by J.M. Fortier, we’ve done our best to implement his practices to bring you the best organic greens available in the region. Every lettuce head is meticulously hand seeded, hand transplanted, hand weeded, and hand harvested in order to ensure the very highest quality. Our blends are pre-washed and graded for excellence before being bagged and brought to a market near you or listed in our online store.

Here are a few things that our regular customers give us consistent feedback on regarding our lettuce mixes and lettuce heads.

“I can’t believe how long this stuff (Salad Mix) stays fresh in my fridge. It’s literally unbelievable.”

“We eat your greens for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They seriously go in every single meal.”

“How do you get these lettuce heads so sweet?”

Baby Roots

round baby radish

Always picked within 3 days of market, the secret to juicy, crunchy, and perfectly spiced radish is growing them with love and care. We do this by making sure all imperfect radish are removed in the fields, and through a thorough washing process that leaves nothing but a mouth watering crunch! crunch! crunch! left to do.

Baby carrots

Our baby carrots may be our best product. Not only are they incredibly sweet, they’re packed with astonishing amounts of Vitamins A, K1, and B6. Carrots contribute to healthier gut activity, decreasing your risk of disease and infection. You might want to find these first thing at market, because they typically sell out fast.

Hakurei Turnips

Hakurei turnips, or salad turnips, are probably the best thing you’ve never tried. Don’t be deterred by your grandmothers "turnip” recipe, which we believe is deadly good, because salad turnips are sweet, crunchy, and best sliced into your salad for a tasty surprise with every bunch. Come try one, you won’t regret it.

A Balanced Meal

cherry tomatoes

We are often told that our cherry tomatoes are the best tomatoes that our customers have ever tried. Organic practices, exquisite care, and beautiful Camlachie sunshine will do that to you. Our greenhouse is cherry tomatoes and only cherry tomatoes. We do this because it allows us to give them the attention they need and we only grow varieties that we’ve learned that you–our customers–have taught us that you love. This simplification has improved our already deeply loved cherry tomatoes.

Baby Potatoes

Our neighbour farm friends, Forstbauer Family Farm, are pretty good about teasing us for growing these fickle little guys (we love them for it). But here’s the secret–we know, just like you know, that these cute little nuggets of gold are irresistible. You may be wondering if a baby potato is any different from a regular potato, and my taste buds will kindly explain to you, you have no idea what revolution you are in for with that statement. Our baby potatoes are so unbelievably good, we literally can eat them raw from the field. Toast them with a touch of garlic and fresh herbs, and… you’re welcome!

zucchini

It’s the plant that won’t stop giving. And to be honest, I hadn’t done much culinary participating in zucchini before we started growing it but that’s another reason to eat organic zucchini. Its wonderful, summer flavour and its smooth texture forced us to cook regularly with these lovely goods. Whether it’s zucchini steaks, zucchini noodles, zucchini chunks, we throw it in everything when it’s in stock. And you should too, because your mind would be boggled by how many zucchini a single plant can produce.

Broccoli

Most farmers avoid broccoli because it isn’t really an easy crop to grow and it’s takes forever to grow in the field. But, certified organic and chemical free broccoli has a flavour that can’t be matched. Try it once and you’ll know exactly what I mean.

GarLic

Organic garlic, untainted by chemicals, not only retains its natural essence but also champions sustainability while delivering a powerhouse of health benefits, from bolstering heart health and immunity to potentially combating cancer, making it a must-have for a vibrant lifestyle.

Fresh Onion

Want to be known for the worlds best burgers? Just add these as fresh or caramelized option; the sweet flavour of a fresh onion cannot be matched by anything. Getting fresh onions at the super market isn’t even an option, ours are often just a few days old.

Leeks

Leeks start in March and finish in September! This super hardy crop can make it through winter weather. These leeks are so good, some of our customers cut them up fresh and eat them raw. We prefer them in roasted potato leek soup. It’s to die for!
